^ Related to this, we need to experience more “true fun”. This is when playfulness overlaps with connection and flow. Flow is the experience when you do not notice the passage of time. I get this when fly fishing or seeing live music. Being addicted to our devices is the enemy of true fun. I am working through this book, the Power Of Fun.

Some folks might argue that they don’t have time for fun. Price would counter that many of us are spending hours with technology every day, which she calls ‘fake fun’. If we reduced the number of hours we spend on our devices (nearly 3 hours per day on average) or watching TV (again, 3 hours per day on average) we just might carve out some time to pursue true fun. And engaging in true fun isn’t just for fun! People who engage in fun are better at manage stress and individuals who have stronger social ties are more resilient during stressful times. As we have more fun, we become more resilient and more able to manage stress.
